April is Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Month

At Jackson Oncology, we believe one of the most powerful tools in the fight against cancer is early detection.

Many cancers can be prevented or found early through routine screenings, healthy lifestyle choices, and paying attention to changes in your body.

✔ Stay up to date on recommended screenings
✔ Don’t ignore unusual symptoms
✔ Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk

Screenings can detect cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is often more effective and outcomes are better.

This month is a reminder:
Taking small steps today can make a life-changing difference tomorrow.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., but it’s also one of the most preventable cancers with regular screening.

Screening can detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable, and can even prevent cancer by identifying and removing precancerous polyps.

Who should be screened?
• Adults starting at age 45
• Individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer
• Those experiencing symptoms like:
- Persistent abdominal pain
- Changes in bowel habits
- Blood in stool
- Unexplained weight loss

Many people avoid screening because they feel fine, but colon cancer often develops without symptoms in its early stages.

Taking a simple step today could save your life.

Talk with your healthcare provider about your screening options.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month

While not all cancers can be prevented, many risk factors can be reduced through awareness, early detection, and healthy choices. Prevention starts with knowledge—and small steps can make a meaningful difference over time.

This month, we encourage everyone to:
- Keep up with recommended cancer screenings
- Make time for movement and balanced nutrition
- Avoid to***co and limit alcohol use
- Protect your skin and prioritize overall wellness

At Jackson Oncology, we believe prevention and early detection are powerful tools in the fight against cancer. By staying informed and proactive, we can help protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Prevention is not about perfection—it’s about progress, awareness, and caring for your future health.
